Bad News

It's been a bad news week.

Life Site News reports the Canadian Medical Association says babies are not human until after birth:

Delegates to the Canadian Medical Association’s annual general council voted on the motion so as to prevent what they called a “backdoor” attempt to reopen the abortion debate. They voted to pass, says a CMA report on the meeting, “a resolution supporting the current wording of the Criminal Code which states that a child ‘becomes a human being within the meaning of this Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother…’”

I am not  a doctor, but having taken a full year of biology I can tell you that babies are human. I wonder what species these doctors think the babies belong to?

And now that we passed it to find out what was in it we find that Obamacare further erodes parental rights by permitting 15 year olds to be permanently sterilized without their parent's permission.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Forget the milestones of obtaining a driver's license at 16 and being able to legally drink at 21 - getting sterilized at 15 is now the first step in the social maturity process of an American youth.

The "Required Health Plan Coverage Guidelines" set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states: "Non-grandfathered plans and issuers are required to provide coverage without cost-sharing consistent with these guidelines in the first plan year.that begins on or after August 1, 2012.All [FDA] approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity."

OK, that's not hard to believe. In fact, I'd be surprised to find it didn't undermine right of parents, and just about everybody else.

One of my favored charities, Catholic Relief Services has now been found supporting pro-abortion and pro-contraception groups:

August 16, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In July, LifeSiteNews broke the story of Catholic Relief Services, “the official overseas relief and development agency of the USCCB,” granting $5.3 million to CARE, a pro-contraception and pro-abortion organization.

Since then, numerous blogs have picked up the story—and investigated further. “Red State” has reported on CRS as a dues-paying member of both the pro-conraception CORE Group and the pro-abortion group MEDiCAM.

It's getting hard to know who to trust when donating.

Lastly, a Mennonite pastor has been convicted for his role in helping a child flee a court imposed lesbian relationship.

Kenneth L. Miller, a Mennonite pastor who helped a little girl and her mother to flee the United States to escape the girl’s court-imposed lesbian “mother,” has been convicted on the charge of “aiding and abetting a parental kidnapping.”

A Vermont jury returned the verdict yesterday after only four hours of deliberation. He is free while awaiting sentencing, which could bring a punishment of up to three years in prison.

Is protecting a child from harm now a crime? In the UK sharing a true story apparently is if it contradicts what the government wants you to believe.
